2009 Epcot Food & Wine Festival - General Reviews & Observations

[TDC Nala]

This is a thread for all your reviews, comments and observations on the 2009 Food & Wine Festival.

There are also several personal reports on this board that will include Food & Wine Festival offerings, probably in more detail, from the point of view of the thread-holder (is that a word?)

Feel free to post your pictures, comments and thoughts on this year's offerings here so they may be found easily by any interested diners and foodies.

Really the only food-related graphic we've got here is Mr. Dancing Banana so he can kick off the festivities:

Thank you for starting this thread. I'll have my own reviews to add in a couple of weeks.

There are more food smilies, you just have to hit more to get them to come up;

Thanks for adding this thread also. I'm heading to the Food & Wine Fest in about three weeks! I'm looking forward to reading everyone's reviews.

Thanks Catherine for the thread! He's doing the 'Ditch' Dance. Well, at least the Before the Ditch Dance, who knows his position after a few slurps.

Not very exciting... this is all I've gotten from my daughter who is there right now. It's isn't crowded at all today...

This is all she sent so far in a picture text. She took more pics with her regular camera, but I'll have to wait to get those until later. She says it's really hot out today. The festival shops just opened, so she's going shopping now...

thanks for posting this!! Hope to add to this thread when I get back. I'll be there in less than a week

Well, she made it all the way around World Showcase, but didn't eat that much since it's so hot out. She'll be back tomorrow. (I'm so jealous!) She did score a very cool item at the Festival shop... they made bags out of last year's F&W signs!

Here is the front sign on her way out of Epcot...
